Topic: Searching - for an answer (Read 2172 times)

The search function continues to crash every few days so I have been repairing it every so often. Anyone here know enough about PHP or SQL to guess as to what would make the log_search_results table crash so easily? I've looked a bit on smf support but haven't really found an answer.

The new search index should actually be even better and pretty fast (and with no crashes). It just takes a long time to build. Luckily it's automatic. I had it running for about 6 hours today and it was up to 40% completion. But, it was timing out the forum so I'll probably try and run it in the wee hours.

So, the custom index basically ended up crashing so I ditched it. Search in re-enabled again this time with the standard index. Hopefully that will help the situation. Please post here if you find search crashed again.
